I would have let her say her toast and also take baby so yous could enjoy your wedding. I don’t see why it would be an issue wether you liked the speech or not your real loved ones would know who yous both are. Your lucky to have a mother in law that wants to do these things for you

Nope, it doesn’t. I have two, my husband’s biological mom and his stepmom. I disowned the evil stepmom as my mother in law and I feel greater than ever. No room for toxic people family or not.

Sounds to me she wanted to help and really just wanted to make a toast. Who cares if it was tacky. People would have laughed and she would have felt great at her son’s wedding. I think something deeper is going on here. Maybe you need to meet in the middle and both apologize???

You don’t owe her ANYTHING! Your husband and you BOTH didn’t want her to act stupid at your wedding so said no to the toast. He’s right that is his child and he doesn’t have to hand her off to anyone. Please think they are so entitled on someone else’s special day or their children!

She sounds like a narcissist to me. Trying to make everything about her. You can’t win with someone like that. I would not apologize as you did nothing wrong. If anything, she owes you and your husband an apology that you more than likely will never get.

Pick you’re battles. I don’t even understood why he would make such a huge issue about them holding the cranky baby. She was right. You both should have been enjoying you’re wedding and she just wanted to help make that possible by holding her grand baby. It sounds absurd to tell his mother no I don’t want you holding my baby. Obviously she feels treated badly about that because she was. The speech? You should have just told her “mom those jokes are bad and honestly embarrassing, if you want to do a speech that’s fine but take the tacky jokes out”. Seriously. That would have been the right thing to do. Instead you guys lie to her and don’t tell her it’s tbe jokes and then she feels bad because she just assumes it’s her you don’t want to talk and again Obviously she feels mistreated. It may seem silly to you but you guys did hurt her feelings. You could’ve avoided all of this. I think you do owe her an apology. I also think you’re exaggerating or leaving something out. So take a step back and put yourself in her shoes for a fee minutes and see if you can at least try to understand where she’s coming from. If you simply can not understand then you might be the one with a narcissistic character, nit your MIL.

Great relationship with my MIL, we’ve offered to move her here where we live multiple times… offer still stands when she gets ready :black_heart: I wish my husband had siblings especially a sister I could be close with. My brother lives across the country, my parents and sister always seem to be too busy to have time for us or our kids. I honestly feel if it wasn’t for holidays or when I’m at work we wouldn’t see them… and it sucks. I use to try but finally gave up, I got tired of seeing my kids let down and crying. Maybe everyone can have a long talk, apologize and start over… a wedding day is a long stressful day. If you have family willing and it’s not toxic all the time at least try one more time, kids need other family members. Trust me, it’s heart breaking.

It’s totally your wedding but even through your side of the story I can see how she feels. She has been rejected multiple times when it sounds like she never had bad intentions at all. Neither of you are necessarily wrong, but she is human and it sounds like she’s really hurt with how she feels she was treated. Perception is reality. Sounds like you guys should civilly talk it out and get back to good terms or else this marriage is going to be a loooong road.

It won’t for a very long time. Sounds like she has control issues and can’t handle that you have changed things now. She doesn’t like that her son isn’t listening to her and letting her get away with things anymore. An that is going to be where the blame you for everything is going to come into play. She won’t take responsibility for her behavior she’ll just make it as if it’s your fault or out right say that it’s bc if you. I’ve been married for 20yrs my mother in law still acts similar to yours but has started to finally let things go barely. Don’t back down. Stand your ground and be sure your husband has your back with her.

Unpopular opinion…… Just let her read it. Sounds like she’s proud of her son and also a caring grandmother. Life is way too short. Maybe have a talk with her so you can understand each other better??? I don’t think she has an Ill intentions towards her son’s family. It was probably an emotional day for her too and she got shot down…. Twice.

She lost her son, that’s how she feels. She should have been able to make a toast. Should have been like well how about taking this out or changing the joke. Kind of rude but then again it’s your wedding. You could apologize for maybe not allowing her any toast at all even if neither you or your husband wanted to take the time to help her take those terrible jokes out or whatever. She shouldn’t have got upset about the baby but she probably really wanted her son to be there and present for his whole wedding so I can see that part. She doesn’t sound horrible I think you just wanted a perfect wedding and in part hurt her feelings. If you have a son don’t make a toast at his wedding…. See how that makes you feel.

It doesn’t get better.

You already had a kid together so this was just a formality wedding. People tried to contribute and help be a part of this by making speeches and helping with the kid and you both pushed them out. I personally would have left you to it as a mother in law. I love who loves me back and it was rude to not accept her help or include her. Weddings are about joining families. You aren’t a princess and the people you exclude won’t likely want to support or help you later. So good luck with that attitude and causing animosity between a mom and her son.

NOPE!
We stopped talking to my mil 6yrs ago when she announced our 2nd pregnancy at 6w when we only told our parents.
Best decision ever.
Oh also her speech at our wedding 9yrs ago was horrible. Wish we cut her off then tbh

Haha my mother in law and I didn’t get along until we got divorced - don’t ask because I don’t know!

I have been told I am a good MIL but I don’t over rule the parents . It’s their child - and I must respect their wishes . Your MIL is acting childish . It’s fine for her to offer her help , but if dad wants to handle his child , she needs to back off . She was insensitive on y’all’s wedding day . I’m very sorry . Try to put it behind you and begin again . Hopefully , she will make wiser choices in the future .

my mother inlaw is awful to me, talks about me to everyone. awful to me on the wedding day. I had to tell her to go sit down and im not taking her crap anymore. we were all standing in a line to go into the hall for dinner. I had no choice but to put my foot down with her. I’m good to her son, never ever treaded him bad. when he got sick with three different cancers last year. I took care of him and I still wasn’t good enough. some mother inlaws are from hell lol.

So I definitely see from both sides. Thinking in her perspective… She was probably already defensive and maybe it didn’t come off right but she was trying to help out with the baby so you guys can enjoy yourselves cause it’s you “your” night. First the speech, probably didn’t mean any harm just wanted to make everyone laugh and then the whole baby situation probably made her feel a type of way. Let things cool off and she will probably contact you apologizing for over reacting

Tell her that it was your and your husband’s day and you had it as you wanted it. It was not her day and to grow up and deal with it. Good luck in your marriage. And don’t let MIL butt in to your plans.

Honestly she is furious she has been “replaced” by another woman in her son’s life. It is a mother / son thing. She is throwing a tantrum because she wanted the day to be about her and not your wedding. DO NOT APOLOGIZE because u will forever be apologizing to her for nothing for the rest of her life and she will LOVE IT. Stick to your guns, enjoy your husband and baby and stay away from her as much as possible. I have one of these too and it stinks!

Just give her the same attitude back - DEMAND an apology back for how horrific her actions were, you can state you somewhat understand why she was upset, but completely appalled by how she wanted to handle it and now she wants an apology from you guys? After throwing a fit at your wedding? Yeah, ok grandma :ok_hand:t2: it’s sad but you still have to “discipline” adults - she won’t get an apology for acting like a child…especially when she literally upset herself more because things weren’t her way and SHE herself chose to leave.
